Endoscopic band ligation (EBL) is used to treat colonic diverticular bleeding (CDB). An endoscopic variceal device for esophageal varices as a conventional EBL (C-EBL). A new (N-EBL) was developed by Sumitomo Bakelite Co. in August 2018. We aimed evaluate the clinical outcomes of N-EBL compared with those C-EBL.Seventy-nine patients who underwent CDB at St. Luke's International Hospital, Japan, between 2017 and 2020 were included this retrospective study. Patients divided into C-EBL groups. Their outcomes, including achieving initial hemostasis, early rebleeding, procedure time, EBL-associated adverse events, evaluated.Of 79 patients, 36 (45.6%) group 43 (54.4%) group. The rate hemostasis 100% 93.0% No significant difference noted rebleeding groups (p=0.24). achieved shorter median time than (18.2 minutes vs. 14.2 minutes, p=0.02). events observed either group.The safe useful may reduce time.
